For almost three hours, we have deep tissue massages, manicures, and pedicures, along with a lot of laughs. I keep her mind off of Trevor and reminisce about our childhood. I needed this as much as she did. When we finish, we go to dinner and continue our girls’ day.
When we finally head back to my apartment, I am so glad that I suggested the spa. It was worth every penny. I give her a tight hug, telling her everything is going to be fine with Trevor and her. Walking into my apartment, I feel renewed. My future with Levi, my career, and everything around me is working out, and I can do this.
After finishing my homework, I crawl into bed and send a text to Levi.
Me: I love you and miss you.
I don’t expect him to reply right away, but he does.
Levi: I love you too. Miss you more.
I think that I’ll tease him a little b
it, mainly as a joke.
Me: I’m laying in bed, naked.
That’s a complete lie. I’m in baggy sweats, a Penguins t-shirt, and my hair is in a messy bun.
Levi: Smarty, are you ‘sexting’ me?
I ignore the question and continue.
Me: The bed is so cold. I wish I had something hot next to me, like God Levi.
I giggle as I hit send. Within ten seconds, my phone begins to ring, and Levi’s picture appears on the screen.
“That’s cruel, Smarty,” he growls before I say anything.
I laugh out loud because I know that he;s turned on. “I’m just messing around.”
“Well, now I’m going to have trouble going to sleep.” I hear him rustling around in the bed.
“I’m sorry, I really was kidding.”
“It’s okay. How was your day?”
I want to tell him about all my daydreams, but I think I’ve scared him enough. Instead, I tell him about Marley, her fears of Trevor cheating, and our spa day.
“Do you know when he is going to propose?” Levi asks.
“I don’t, but I told him to do it soon.” I sit there in silence with my phone to my ear. “I do miss you, Levi,” I finally say.
“Miss you too, but don’t worry. I’ll see you for Thanksgiving.”
“There are two things that I want when I see you,” I say firmly.
“And that would be what?” I hear the confusion in his voice.
“A big kiss and hard bite.” I bite my lip to hold back my laughing.
“You have a deal, Smarty. I love you.”
“Love you.”
I hit end on my phone and throw it next to me. I lay there for a minute, wishing for Levi to be next to me, holding me.
Well shit, I’ve turned into one of those girls. I sigh deeply because I’m okay with it. Levi’s the one I want. It doesn’t matter if we get married or not. We’ll be together, and that’s what I want most of all.
